However, in cases where an injury is received right at the junction between an extremity and the torso – places such as the neck, shoulder or groin – things get a lot trickier. Gauze pads treated with clotting agents are often packed into the wound, although they're not always sufficient for staunching the flow. A group of students from Johns Hopkins University are working on a better alternative, in the form of a hardening foam that's injected into the wound.  <a href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/hardening-polyurethane-foam-wound-treatment/32927/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32916"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/protein-for-fat-cheese-cakes/32916/">Proteins could take the place of fats in diet cheeses and cakes</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">July 10, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/protein-for-fat-cheese-cakes/32916/#comments">9 Comments</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/protein-for-fat-cheese-cakes/32916/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034334im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/proteinforfat.jpg" title="Modified proteins could allow for low-fat cakes and cheeses which don't have that 'low-cal..." alt="Modified proteins could allow for low-fat cakes and cheeses which don't have that 'low-cal..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Dieters take note!

The goal of that division is to "merge biology, engineering, and computer science to harness the power of natural systems for national security." This week, the agency released details of one of the office's key projects, called Restoring Active Memory. It's aimed at using implantable "neuroprosthetics" to help army veterans and other people recover from memory deficits caused by brain injury or disease.  <a href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/darpa-restoring-active-memory-implants/32898/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32880"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/relieve-app-e-cigarette/32880/">Students win competition with app and e-cigarette concept</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/author/antonio-pasolini/">Antonio Pasolini</a></div> <div class="date">July 9, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/relieve-app-e-cigarette/32880/#comments">2 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/relieve-app-e-cigarette/32880/pictures">2 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/relieve-app-e-cigarette/32880/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034334im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/relieve.jpg" title="The Relieve concept won a national competition " alt="The Relieve concept won a national competition "/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Smartphones have paved the way for an increasing number of health-monitoring innovations, covering a range of applications such as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/flyfit-ankle-band-fitness-tracker/30964/" target="_blank">fitness</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/app-to-view-electrocardiograms-on-smartphones/16664/" target="_blank">cardiac function</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034334/http://www.gizmag.com/kidney-testing-smartphone-attachment/28833/" target="_blank">diabetes</a>, to name but a few.
